Writing Workshop Lottery: Read drafts, critique (Morning)

IN-PERSON EVENT @ Jarrod's New Location: 109 W University Dr. Mesa, AZ

Welcome to our Saturday morning event! We now run a lottery to keep our community diverse, respectful, and motivated. And it works!

HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM WORK?

Due to time constraints, we've created a lottery for those who wish to share. If you're new, just sign up and show up, and we'll explain in person.

If you are eligible to share, please limit your work to 2000 words.

Lottery events are designed with the intention to:
1. Incentivize diversity of authors (We don't play favorites).
2. Incentivize accountability (Houston: We have a flake problem...).
3. Incentivize new people to join while also rewarding dedicated members.

ADDITIONAL FAQ:

Does the event cost money?
No! But you must buy something from Jarrod's Coffee. NO EXCEPTIONS.
